Obama ‘Thrilled To Have’ Specter

Apr 28, 2009 35 Comments ›› Pat Dollard

President Obama talked to Sen. Arlen Specter at 10:32 this morning from the Oval Office, said Dems are “thrilled to have you,” according to a White House aide.

Obama was informed of Specter’s decison to switch parties at 10:25 this morning while receiving his daily economic briefing in the Oval Office, according to a White House official.

Obama was handed a note by an aide that read: “Specter is announcing he is changing parties.”

The president reached Specter, one of only three Republicans to support his stimulus package, on the phone at 10:32 and told him “you have my full support.” He added that we are “thrilled to have you.”

Officials close to the White House say that Vice President Joe Biden, who served in the Senate with Specter for 28 years from next door Delaware and became close to him through their work on the Judiciary Committee, played a pivotal if quiet role in persuading the five-term senator to switch parties.

That turncoat pussy. Good riddance you liar and deceiver. The idiots who elected you got exactly what they deserved today.

Well at this point why don’t we cut out a few more of the RINO’s cut the party down to about 25 in the senate and start over!

“The idiots who elected you got exactly what they deserved today.”

Correct, but when it comes to the left the rest of us
that have nothing to do with voting in Specter will end up getting the same ASS raping from the left.

Actually they didnt get what they deserved, they elected a Republican. Any public official that switches parties mid-term should be forced to resign.

Hey Arlen, don’t let the door hit ya on the way out! (If it does, I bet Bawney would love to get the knob unstuck!!)

Like it matters what letter is next to his name … he votes like a Dem anyway … Fuck ‘em.

Now that the magic number is hit for the Dems, fuck it, clean house … let all the RINOs switch parties … it will be easier and less confusing for voters to punt their asses out in the next elections.

I agree fully, Specter voted with the Dems, and all those others who ain’t Constitutionalist Conservatives by all means give up that “R” behind your name so we can better recognize you.

Mr. Standfast

What great timing. The entire news media is focused on this Rhino has-been and is ignoring the 747 NY fly-over and the government extortion of general motors. Rahm (Geobbels) Emanuel has done it again. Brilliant.

Citizens, we are in deep do do. 2010 elections may be too late.

Subterfuge! never trusted him to because of his voting record

I think these guys have sold their souls to the devil, Teddy is still kickin.

The Devil will come for their souls…eventually…and certainly not soon enough to avoid the horrendous destruction which they plan to perpetrate.

Careful Standfast, that kind of talk get’s me labeled an insurrectionist.

Mr. Standfast

DHS already has me on the NSA watch list. I’m a right-wing extremist.

Mr. Standfast, are you serious? Is really a way to see if you’re on their list, or am I having a blond moment and am misunderstanding sarcasm?

When all the RINOsfinnaly do jump ship,they will be “all in one big area” and make a much better target.
GregGS

Note the excuse is that since Reagan he complains that the Republican party has swung to far to the right.
This is pure propaganda, he’s putting out that Reagen was a big tent guy and that we have become to conservative but the reality is that ever since he left office the republicans have gone left with lefty buzz words like compassionate conservatism, I new right away that some one had been brainwashed by the so called progressives.

You could not be more right, GregGS.

A while ago it was Jumpin’ Jim Jeffords, and now Arlin Spector.

At the precise moment they need a special number to vote on something, this happens. The other RINO’s will not stick their necks out yet. They will hold back for another time when needed. That is their role. They hold back and wait for a moment to gain money and to persuade a vote when needed most.

This is calculated.

The Dem’s just spend “Hard ‘Political’ Currency” with this move, and it’s a big one.

It must be about the National Health Care vote. They see problems ahead and pull this stunt to deflate the Republicans in spirit and get a PR boost with a famous new member.

good riddens, atleast now he will have on the right color uniform

RED!

Just one more target, keep pushing assholes.

IRONMIKE

KEEP PUSHING???? KEEP PUSHING????

They’ve been pushing for far too long.

We are pussies for not pushing back long ago.

Now with each day our options for having a say in how we are governed shrink. Our freedoms have eroded to a sliver.

Upside down and backwards, the truth and common sense were murdered long ago without consequence. The truth is, the first time truth and common sense came under attack, that attack should have been dealt with harshly and vigorously.

Professional politicians are the enemies of freedom.

This country is haeded for the big wake-up call. Where is the finger Pat? This swine flu carrier needs it.

Just heard this asswipe say “I will not let my record and accomplishments be judged and decided by the Republican primary electors…” ie. “I know my ass is cooked with Republicans, so before they can finish me, I am f**cking them” What a colossal POS Good riddance, thou traitorous bastard

grumpy mechanic

These assholes don’t have any principles, all they care about is getting re-elected. If that means changing sides so be it.
Who the fuck could respect this asshat when he stands for nothing but himself whatever the cost to the country and citizenry. :gun:

YERMOM

Word on the street is that he is going to the White House for a celebratory circle jerk tonight.

Fuck this ass hole. I hope he dies of dick cancer.

When Franken gets in, there goes any and ALL checks and balances for what the government does or doesn’t do. Fillibuster proof government. Great. What the HELL is going on to this great country?
TedB

The GOP deserves this, they are fucking pussies. Nobody riding herd.

DesignR

That’s right. No leadership. No parents crackin’ the whip.

But…

If we abandon the (R) party, we will only have a weak 3rd party sister with no political power in position, read DC, to help.

I hope no one is suggesting we throw the Baby out with the bathwater. The last time I looked, this is still the party of Reagan and Goldwater. Mr. Newt has serious problems with McCain-itis, but his brain is larger than any 20 of us and his heart, deep down somewhere, is still conservative.
